Conditions at Inside Rights in October
October: Spring Transition, Still Locked Out
Though the monsoon is beginning to stir elsewhere in the tropics, Inside Rights remains locked in the SE wind regime for much of October. Ideal wind is only 4%, with SE (39%) and SSE (35%) continuing to dominate. The swell, however, is still solid: 6ft (1.8m) average on 13.7s periods, and the direction balance tilts more toward S/SSW, making for powerful groundswell on the reef. The 5-6.5ft (1.5-2m) range is the most common at 53.5%. Late October often brings the first real NW monsoon pushes, and once those start to overlap with S groundswell, the first true days of the season appear. Air temps are 27.2°C, water is 28.9°C, rainfall starts creeping up to 4.8mm/day.
